Brighton Drug Bust: Trio Nabbed with Cocaine and Cash
Police in Brighton have made a major drug bust after pulling over a suspicious vehicle on the A259 on March 9th. Inside, officers discovered what they believe to be cocaine, a stash of cash, and several mobile phones.
Man Without Fixed Address Arrested
A 26-year-old man, homeless and living without a fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs. He was also found to have overstayed his welcome in the UK. Authorities have since handed him over to Immigration Services for further investigation.
More Drugs Found at Suspect’s Home
Police didn’t stop there. A raid at an address linked to the suspect on St Georges Road uncovered large amounts of Class A drugs and more cash. Brighton and Hove’s Tactical Enforcement Unit led the search as part of the widening probe.
Two More Men Bailed Amid Ongoing Inquiry
Alongside the 26-year-old, a 36-year-old man from Hove and a 43-year-old from Ascot were arrested on suspicion of dealing Class A drugs. Both have been released on conditional bail while police continue their investigation.
Investigator Jonny Craze praised the police’s “fine proactive work” in stopping the vehicle and expanding the operation based on gathered intelligence. He vowed to keep cracking down to make Brighton and Hove an inhospitable place for drug dealers.
